Woodbury Park Showcase: Nonnewaug Falls
Woodbury recently became one of the newest Bronze Certified towns in CT. Please
check out the town's profile on the Sustainable CT website to see all of the actions taken
to reach this level. Be on the lookout in the new year for a discussion with the
Sustainable CT team to find out more about this great program!
Way to go, Woodbury!
Located in the northeast corner of
Woodbury on the border of
Bethlehem you will find a trail
through fields and woods leading to
a beautiful waterfall.
From New England Waterfalls: AGuide To More Than 400 Cascadesand Waterfalls: "The falls are
surrounded by rich moss and other
vegetation which lends a bold green
color to the hemlock-shrouded
ravine. The 18-foot drop begins as a
horsetail before gracefully spilling
away from the underlying rock face
for a final 7-foot plunge, landing in a
waist-deep pool." Go enjoy this
beautiful hike today!

Did you know...there was an archealogical dig of a
mine right here in Woodbury? Completed over 3
days in September, rock samples were collected
from the mine floor and were brought to the CT
Museum of Mining and Mineral Science in Kent
where Curator John Pawloski will analyze the
rocks for mineral content.
Once we know the nature of the samples,
a report will be issued.
Stay tuned!
